That's easy - relativity is used to prop up relativism.
What he describes is common among scientists and mathematicians. Hadamard describes the results of his survey in the 1940s: https://mathshistory.st-andrews.ac.uk/Extras/Hadamard_mathematician/

OR could it be plugging into the collective consciousness?

The theory that everything is connected so we already have access to all information about everything

Yes. This is Non-dualism…. Advaita Vedanta.

Most people will never understand this concept.
Maybe Only the students of Advaita Vedanta and Spinoza… people like Albert Einstein.
